After Ellie gets shot off her horse I murdered all the guys in the village and stopped there
I figure I have about 3 hours left.

I saw the texture of an address in Boulder, Colorado, which is where CU is.
We don't call it ECU and Boulder isn't in the eastern part of Colorado... it's actually north-west of Denver.
I imagine that naughty dog had to get the university's permission to use the schools name in the game...i also imagine they might've said no.
Ya, for all intents and purposes it's more than close enough.
Did you play on hard? Only took me 13 hours on normal.

How do you crash out? It seems to me like I'm only good enought to get the supplies needed to sustain a 70-strong clan (without Collector)
Also, do you keep your hats and emblems and things when you crash out? I use Covert Ops but its a bit negated if you're in a group with others who don't. Only got one stealth kill, 4 weeks in

Is there a zoo in Salt Lake City? And how long did you stay there with Ellie? About 6, 7 minutes for me
. And a while, probably about that long. The game's score just gets kicked up to another level at this point. Fuck...
92%. I don't want this to end :-/
Help.
I'm at
I'm at
The Hunt, at the part where Ellie's horse got shot and now she's in this pretty cool area with lots of cabins (I think a park and a lake?), and tons of dudes looking to kill her. Snuck past all of them to the stairs on the other side of the level, only to find no where to go? Is this one of those areas where I have to kill everyone?
Normal. Searched everywhere and switched up my combat scenarios. Stealth/Rambo. Took a lot of time planning attack.
Yup, I was certainly surprised how quickly that was over. Short, but absolutely so sweet.

Yes! Cudo's to ND. All games Trophies should be like this... I hate the games with 50 trophies. Give me 10 good trophies... that's all I need.
I can't believe you arent done with it. You are like the most vocal person on here! Go play and stop gaffing!

The infected sure are underrepresented in the latter half of the game

Yeah you keep everything that you've unlocked. When I use covert ops, I don't actively engage the enemy, I stay near the team but out of the main line of sight. Once my teammates start fighting I crouch walk till I'm out of the enemy's line of sight (by watching their red blips + listen mode) and then just regular walk up to them for the shiv and flank. That's also why I don't use covert ops 1. Covert ops only gets useful from the 2nd level onwards.
I crashed out because near the 12th week you'll get two back to back missions that will give you minimum loss of 20% population. I messed up the first and lost 40%. I ended week 12 with only 40+ population.

Planning during combat is easily the most time consuming part of gameplay for me. I'm a meticulous ghost until the eventual screw up then everyone better duck cause I'm throwing shots.
And since nobody pointed this out, Naughty Dog out Tomb Raider'd Tomb Raider in terms of building a character into a legit survivor. Ellie >>>>> Rambo Croft

All of the rest of the seasons are comparatively much shorter than Summer. (Fall, Winter, Spring combined are probably roughly the same length as Summer).
Nah, More_Badass is and he was just a Junior like a week ago. =P
Summer ends at
60
Eh, while I appreciate that aspect, I still think it stinks that there are like 10 completion trophies and 10 collectible trophies or whatever. I'm not even sure "keeping the player immersed" is what they were going for, since there are a couple you can get on your first playthrough.
Would've preferred some more fun, creative trophies that you could only get during a NG+ playthrough, since that's already a pretty game-y construct.
Done.
18 hours on hard.
I'm not going to say much here, but...
Now on to multiplayer. I've played it a bit, but if anyone wants to play, feel free to add me on PSN, ryandg82.

Despite the game being essentially a love song to a lot of post-apocalyptic fiction, the game still felt fresh even though it was highly derivative in terms of its narrative. With that being said however, this was also probably one of the most impact/emotion filled narratives I've experienced in a game in a very long time. It took me a while to get used to the combat and the stealth, but when it finally clicked, I began to realize that it is a lot more intuitive then I was trying to make it at first. And I shuddered so often in the game at the violence. Spec Ops the Line pales in comparison to how uncomfortable this game made me at times.

Maybe, maybe not.
You want to make your way forward, up to a point beyond the bathrooms where guards patrol a staircase. Up those stairs and to the left there is a narrow path - thats your goal. If you can get there by stealth, more power to ya. Good luck.
BTW - It was this area here in particular where all the mechanics - everything came together and it all just clicked for me. I took them all out in cinematic fashion, completely realistic, heart pounding, tactical and diverse ways. I fell completely in love with all the options available and how smoothly you could transition between all of them.

This game's multiplayer is pretty dang awesome. Very tactical, rewards teamwork in a way few games can. Once we get some additional modes and some elements refined I wouldn't be surprised if this becomes one of the top PS3 games online. Already got a comprehensive list worked up to submit to our contacts at ND. So pumped!

14 hours 15 minutes on the clock and my Normal playthrough is now over. Definitely my favorite game of the year so far, and it's way up there on the list of my favorite games from this generation. Pretty much everything from Bill's Town onward was just fantastic.
Going to have to mull over how I feel about the ending for a while, but I definitely don't hate what they did.

Am I the only one who is glad that the companion A.I. sucked major ass? The last thing I want is the A.I. being stuck behind a wall and getting spotted. Its my game, let me control the outcome!
There were so many scenarios where I had to quickly run to a different room because the enemy was turning around and the A.I. companions were no where to be seen, or they just stood at the same spot and ran across from the different direction. In those cases, I'm glad the A.I. was a bit broken.
I'm not sure what you mean. The AI isn't perfect, but it never caused me trouble. And unless I'm mistaken, the AI companions can't alert enemies. Hell I've seen one run into a clicker multiple times with no effect.

Actually I preferred that. Fighting humans was way more fun than fighting infected. Didn't care for
bloaters
stalkers
760 posts...hell yeah
Thanks a lot. I didn't see that path, but at least I'll know where to look.
It's my feeling now I should avoid combat at all costs on Hard, as there have been many times I've come so close to running out of items and ammo. I need to conserve

For me it was downhill after Bill's Town. That town was amazing though.
Id say you around halfway.
Just finished this game and wow 17 hours 35 minutes on Hard. I really didn't want it to end at all just because I want more of the characters that you are sad because you are done with their story. Need to let it sink in GOTY for sure. Maybe GOTG but dunno yet.
*END Spoilers
I wonder if Ellie at the end just accepted what Joel said even though she knew he was lying. And Joel really transformed through the game from this guy who was just bottling everything inside to being open with Ellie talking about Sarah.
I think if they make a sequel it'd have to be with Ellie as the main. She become one of my favourite character amazing job by ND and her Voice actor.

The runners seem far more perceptive than human beings thus far. Unless I'm already dealing with

Edit: Oh this is exactly what I've been doing. Oops.
Near endgame spoilers:
I fucking love you Naughty Dog. Wish I preordered every version of this game available. I will be buying the artbook and standard/limited editions of the strategy guide.
that whole reveal with David and the ending confrontation with his machete was so fucking powerful. And hey, the wikia says he was voiced/mocapped by Nolan North!

It can't be for nothin'.
Ashley Johnson (Ellie) really deserves an award for this game.
Same... Will play tomorrow...
WHAT WHAT WHAT
like in the sense that its supposed to be terrible for the characters or just in your opinion?
Yeah. I was searching for that thread to find people to play with.
Sometimes I enjoy picking unnecessary fights just to see what the incredible AI will do. There are so many awesome, semi-random combat scenarios that I almost feel like I'm cheating myself out of experiences when I stealth-kill someone.
